That is a wonderful variety of raptors. The Caracara shot is my favorite.

The caracara stands out in the set! A closeup of the king vulture would've been awesome

Just googled time/distance/directio​ns to the CRC-thanks for the great pics and inspiration.
I assume all are behind mesh?

Yes, Everything is behind mesh or fencing. They do offer private photography sessions where they bring the raptors out of the cages, but this was just a weekend visit with my family. The mesh and fencing created quite the challenge!

They were walking the vulture back to his enclosure after a scheduled feeding. I got scolded for stepping up to take this picture! :oops:

You handled the challenge quite well !!
Now how do you get a private session, or a non-mesh session ???
I think a group POTN meet at the CRC would be fantastic---esp for noob (me) who could use tips.

Thanks! I will do a little research on private photo sessions and hopefully post something up here soon.

I found the webpage for the recent event ....

Carolina Raptor Center PhotoWild Event (external link)

I also emailed Natalie Childers (Programs Director), asking her about future events. She replied right away that they were meeting tomorrow to go over their 2015 calendar, but she gave me the following information as said it was pretty firm....

For now, we’ve got the 2015 Spring & Fall photo wilds tentatively scheduled for the dates below:

Saturday, March 21st
Sunday, March 22nd

Rain dates for above: Saturday, March 28th & Sunday, March 29th

Saturday, April 11th
Sunday, April 12th

Rain date for above: Sunday, April 19th

Saturday, October 17th
Sunday, October 18th

Rain dates for above: Saturday, October 24th & Sunday, October 25th

Photographers can buy a one day pass or a weekend pass (which is the better deal). We bring out some different birds each day, as well as some that come out both days but are perched in different areas with different backdrops. Each day also includes a flight portion so that photographers have the opportunity to try and get some action shots. We also have a GoWild! benefit auction each year where photographers are invited to submit up to 3 framed and matted photos in our contest; these photos are auctioned at the event to raise money for our center. This year, GoWild! is this coming Saturday, November 1st.
